It will fix the "out of the box" circular dependency for people who |
| 12 |
switch to a default desktop profile. This is the main problem we |
| 13 |
need to solve now. Certain useflag and package combinations |
| 14 |
will trigger a circular dep, that is a know occurrence in Gentoo. |
| 15 |
But at least with a default configuration things should work out of |
| 16 |
the box. For other configurations there are workarounds (in this |
| 17 |
case: install gtk+ without cups, or poppler without cairo enabled |
| 18 |
first). |
